I love the look on the little kid (seen in full HD (heh!) glory on 12" "America"). LOVE it. His eyes are so incredibly old looking.

Not too good and not too bad.

To me it's more about how everything works together as a whole than any one thing in particular.

The music is fantastic, 10/10,

but ATWIAD is not a good cover artwork, imo........ too "messy".

1. I guess this artwork (without a pic of Prince) was only made to avoid over-exposure right after the extremely successful PR album.

2. And it is also like Prince wanted to create "mystery" with this artwork...

I prefer LP artworks like those classic Parade, Lovesexy, SOTT >>> cuz, they includes pics of Prince himself on the front.

Still the drawned ATWIAD is not the worst artwork either.

Almost every release post 1995 are all really bad, aren't they?!

It's a toss up between Prince imagining himself as a blonde haired White man sat on the steps or Prince imagining himself as Mother Teresa in the background

I love the fact that Prince paid homage to The Human League and Phil Oakey with the guy dressed in black ( who's hair on one side is swept back, like Phil's).

Please feel free to look at my thread describing the impact of The Human League on all aspects of Prince's career
